Living Forward
In Living Forward Barbara and Teja keep life fresh in big ways and small. Two artists from opposite ends of the planet, with more than 30 years of making mischief together, Barbara & Teja (a.k.a. Kitty & Bird) will take you on a comedic romp through new adventures, pop culture, technology, creative pursuits, and staying healthy. From unpacking the worst B-movies to deciphering new iPhone features, these two cultural explorers prove that being backwards compatible doesn't keep you from living forward.
